| Notes | The artwork is identical to the next Shield story in this issue signed by Vigoda. Compare the special way of running and the many close up faces and rapid inking. He is credited on this feature as writer and artist by Jerry Bails' Who's Who. | The artwork is identical to the next Shield story in this issue signed by Vigoda. Compare the special way of running and the many close up faces and rapid inking. He is credited on this feature as writer and artist by Jerry Bails' Who's Who. Dusty's last name "Simmons" removed because it never appears in a comic. Lou Mougin reports that he invented the name in a fan fiction story called "War With the Wizard" and gave Dusty that name just to give him a last name. |

| Donald Dale Milne | Dusty's last name "Simmons" removed because it never appears in a comic. Lou Mougin reports that he invented the name in a fan fiction story called "War With the Wizard" and gave Dusty that name just to give him a last name. While he's flattered the name has acquired a life of its own, he states that it should not be used in authoritative records such as ours.
